bed bugs

.The thought of a bed bug infestation can drive any sane person into a frenzy. These tiny brown insects live on the blood of other animals and humans. While bed bugs cannot fly, these creatures are surprising adept on their legs and can actually run extremely fast. Though red itchy welts may well be a sign of a bed bug infestation, the truth of the matter is that the initial bed bug bite is painless. Unfortunately, once the itching starts it is hard to stop.

Unlike ants and other insects, bed bugs do not build visible nests. They move into all protected crevices in furniture and around the bedroom and come out at night to feed on their sleeping victims. Bed Bug is actually a misnomer- they can live anywhere in your home. Throwing out the bed is not enough! And, since you can’t easily find them clustered in their nest, you will find that they are hard to get rid off, What makes this task all the more difficult is the fact that the female bed bug lays thousands of eggs and all of them are about the same size as that of a particle of dust! ​While you may try vacuuming and washing and cleaning, you will find that ridding yourself of bedbugs without professional help is next to impossible. If you miss even a single bed bug or an egg for that matter, the infestation will reoccur. There are folks who battle bed bug infestations on their own for YEARS.

termites

​Termites are tiny beings but they pose a great threat to our homes. While termites do not bite human beings, the destruction that they cause to property can be devastating. Understanding the tiny insect is critical when it comes to eliminating this pest from your house.​Termites are tiny ant like creatures that feast on wood. Spring and /or fall may have a sudden swarm of winged ants making their ways into any enclosed environment and this includes your home. These winged creatures are termites that are looking for protection from the elements.

Subterranean termites are the ones who build their nests below the soil. They are easily identified by the mud tubes that they build. Mud tubes leading to your house is a clear indication that the termites are seeking refuge within the four walls of your home.

Observing for termite activity is really important. This is essentially because termites burrow into wooden structures. The damage cannot be seen externally except for some powder that tends to accumulate on and around the wooden object. The problem is that once the termites are done with the wooden object, you are left with a weekend shell which will eventually collapse. As can be imagined this infestation can turn out to be very costly.

Getting rid of termites is hard because you can’t see where they are. Like bed bugs, termites need to be eliminated completely. If you don’t succeed then you can be assured that the infestation will continue. Surrey Pest Control Pros deploys our experienced technicians to handle this kind of problem and getting rid of a termite infestation is best left up to us.​Only skilled professionals are qualified to undertake the process of termite fumigation and termite protection. We do not recommend trying to rid your home of termites alone.

carpenter ants

​Carpenter ants are indigenous to many areas and can be cause of concern when they nest within houses. Most home owners are baffled as to how to get rid of them. Most carpenter ants prefer to use moist wood as a base for their nests. They hollow out the structure and they proceed to occupy it. These ants can cause a great deal of damage to your wooden furnishings and the very structure of our home. That is why, like the termites, it is wise to get rid of them as quickly as possible by enlisting the help of Surrey Pest Control Pros.​Since carpenter ants live in a colony, treatment of the colony is the most effective method of eliminating them.

DOWNside of diy

​The current trend all across the world is DIY or Do it Yourself. This however, is very dangerous in the arena of pest control. As mentioned, locating all pests and their nests is a big problem. Eliminating them is another. The main risk for those who undertake DIY pest control procedures is the risk to the health of you and your loved ones. Pesticides often interfere with the nervous system of the insects they intend to disable. These same pesticides can cause chronic conditions in pets and humans if not handled correctly. While we may invest money in a do it yourself project, the outcome will often be less than satisfactory or even outright dangerous due to lack of information and skill. The end result may be that you will end up having to call Surrey Pest Control Pros after the damage is done in order to rid the home of pests safely and quickly.​Fumigation is another procedure that is best left in the hands of the pest control companies.
